While Palm does not have an active booth presence at the 2008 CES, several Palm-related tidbits have managed to emerge from the show. The latest Palm-related report from CES further confirms the impending release of a GSM Centro running the Garnet OS. TreoCentral spotted a white GSM Centro at an undisclosed Palm accessory manufacturer's booth and has posted a brief summary of their findings. They managed to get a few minutes with the device and take some reasonably high-quality shots of the unit's keyboard as well as its battery compartment. One interesting fact from their brief hands-on time was that the GSM Centro's keyboard is slightly more angled than its CDMA brethren. No word as of yet if this going to remain on the production GSM Centro or if this is an older, pre-production mockup with a different keyboard design.

And is it unlocked?

Anyone saw that?

On the company's to do list for a while has been an overhaul of its aging (5 years old) operating system. Palm has finally added to its calendar a target date for the release of its upgrade: the end of this year.

But it won't be until early next year that Palm will actually start selling gadgets that run it.

Umm, it should be news to anyone that visits PIC that Palm's plans and their ability to execute to plan are two totally separatre things. In fact If Palm says it can get OS2 or whatever they are calling it out by early 2009, I would expect mid 2010 and buggy as hell.
